Introduction to Articulators - are mechanical devices used in dentistry to simulate the jaw movements and spatial relationships of the maxilla and mandible. They are essential tools in prosthodontics for fabricating dental restorations such as crowns, bridges, and dentures with functional accuracy. Articulators help replicate mandibular movements like opening, closing, lateral, and protrusive motions, allowing dentists and technicians to evaluate occlusion and plan treatment effectively.There are different types of articulators, classified based on their complexity and the accuracy with which they mimic jaw movements. The main categories include: Non-adjustable: Simple hinge devices that allow basic opening and closing.Semi-adjustable: Can be customized to simulate individual patient movements to some extent.Fully adjustable: Most accurate, allowing precise replication of patient-specific jaw dynamics.Using an articulator improves the quality of prosthetic work, reduces chairside adjustments etc.
